Possible Causes and Solutions:

The printer is not shared. Mark the printer as shared and then right click the Printer Installer system tray icon on the print server and select refresh.

The printer name has a space before or after the printer name. Remove the space and then right click the Printer Installer system tray icon on the print server and select refresh.

The printer share name has a space before or after the printer name. Remove the space and then right click the Printer Installer system tray icon on the print server and select refresh.

The printer share name does not match the printer name. Change the share name to match the printer name and then right click the Printer Installer system tray icon on the print server and select refresh.

The printer port is not a valid port. Try configuring the port that the printer is using, if you can't configure it, delete the port and recreate it, and then right click the Printer Installer system tray icon on the print server and select refresh.
